Make Publishing A Terrorist's Name Illegal

Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray and John Wilkes Booth are all famous Americans. Not because they were great leaders, inventors or educators but because they committed great crimes. So, why give them similar notoriety for wrongful cowardly acts? We should not.

The shooting in Las Vegas is the latest example of a person needlessly harming innocent people who now has instant fame. Awarding these criminals in this way only encourages more such acts. Making it illegal to publish the name of such criminals will take away this motivation.

Sign this petition and encourage your elected officials to create a federal law prohibiting the publishing of the name of these types of criminals. Thank you for your support.
